Chapter 187

Bai Qingque's face lit up as she gazed at the light beam despite everyone's strange expressions.

Her heart raced at the sight of Lin Jiao's handsome face, eyebrows, and domineering presence within the light beam of resurrection.

Unlike Su Qingyi and others, Bai Qingque was one of Lin Jiao's direct subordinates.

Su Qingyi and the others were clearly in love, even though they didn't confess to him.

However, both Bai Qingque and Xia Bing had a subordinate relationship and immense respect for him.

It wasn't until they separated from him that they realized their love for him.

It was because of this that Bai Qingque was thrilled and nervous seeing the image.

...

(Within the Light Beam of Resurrection)

Lin Jiao did not plan to cook the snow rabbit into grilled rabbit meat. His only purpose in saying this was to test the snow rabbit.

Despite not yet reaching the peak of its Innate Realm, this snow rabbit was very wise.

Nevertheless, the snow rabbit's eyes flashed with horror as it heard his words.

Seeing this reminded Lin Jiao of himself.

Previously, he was also in the Innate Realm but still had self-awareness.

"You are born with self-awareness... you are good."

Then, Lin Jiao threw the snow rabbit in his hand nonchalantly onto the grass aside and said, "I will teach you a few cultivation techniques. And, once you have transformed within a month, you will follow me and become my subordinate... If not, I'll make you into grilled rabbit meat."

After saying this, Lin Jiao explained a few cultivation insights he had recently learned.

The snow rabbit widened its ruby eyes and listened intently to Lin Jiao's words.

From then on, an adorable snow rabbit followed Lin Jiao for a half-month.

Under Lin Jiao's constant guidance, this snow rabbit's cultivation base also rose rapidly.

Honestly, this snow rabbit's previous cultivation base wasn't that great after all. As a result, achieving the transformation stage in one month was not easy.

On the other hand, when everyone at the Light beam of resurrection saw the snow rabbit cultivating desperately, they couldn't help but sweat.

Almost everyone had a feeling that if this snow rabbit couldn't meet Lin Jiao's expectations, he would turn it into roasted meat.

...

One month later.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, today was the last day of the month.

Surprisingly, the snow rabbit's Qi was infinitely close to the Innate Realm, but it still couldn't transform.

So, while the snow rabbit desperately cultivated, trying to reach the transformation stage, many figures appeared in the woods ahead.

"Lin Jiao, my master heard your name and invited you to the banquet."

They were all demon cultivators who entered the Dao Entry Realm.

At this moment, they handed over an invitation made of stone and hurriedly left, fearing Lin Jiao attacking them.

Well, Lin Jiao was not interested in killing these weaklings.

But soon, a frown spread across his face as he grabbed the stone.

On the side, when the snow rabbit saw the bloody three words 'Wolf Demon King' on the stone, it hurriedly leapt onto Lin Jiao's shoulder and poked him with its fluffy paws.

It was as if the snow rabbit was telling him not to attend the banquet.

On the Lingxuan Continent, wolves were extremely powerful.

Half of the monsters that tried to kill Lin Jiao were wolves.

Moreover, the Wolf Demon King had many beasts under his control, including the Dao Entry Realm demon cultivators who had crossed the transformation stage.

From this alone, it was clear that this Wolf Demon King wasn't to be trifled with.

As Lin Jiao was new here, he didn't know the might of this wolf demon King.

The snow rabbit, however, lived in this area and knew the Wolf Demon King.

So at this moment, it was desperately attempting to stop Lin Jiao from meeting the Wolf Demon King.

But regardless, seeing the snow rabbit jump on his shoulder and shake its head, Lin Jiao snorted coldly.

He then grabbed the snow rabbit's two ears and picked it up. "Who allowed you to jump at me like this? My dear, today is the last day. If you can't transform after I return, get ready to become the barbecue."

Bai Qingque still has fiery eyes at the moment.

She even said with a tsundere expression: "No one in this world can compare to my Lord."

As a demon cultivator, Bai Qingque never concealed her admiration for Lin Jiao.

Snorting coldly, Bai Qingque turned her head and looked at Xia Bing beside her.

She thought that Xia Bing, who had always been at odds with her, would use this opportunity to taunt her with a few words.

But Xia Bing didn't avert her gaze from the light beam of resurrection before her.

Everyone's eyes were glued to Lin Jiao's figure in the light beam. After all, Lin Jiao's life was more colorful.

However, Xia Bing's sight never left Lin Xuan who was cultivating every day within the light beam of resurrection.

"I'm afraid Xia Bing’s feelings for Lin Xuan aren't much different from how I feel about my Lord Lin Jiao."

Bai Qingque softly sighed to herself, and the hostility towards Xia Bing dissipated instantly.

...

(Within the Light Beam of Resurrection)

Lin Jiao sat on the pile of bodies under the moonlight.

When he saw this snow rabbit arrive, he was stunned at first. However, he responded instantly with a smile, "Yes, you are indeed here. It seems like you succeeded within a month. In that case, you will be my subordinate from now on."

He casually threw down the piece of wolf leg he held in his hand.

Lin Jiao's voice turned cold as he said, "I do not want my subordinates to be weak... Here, this is the wolf Demon King's corpse. It contains strong life essence. Eat it and stabilize your realm."

With horror and hesitation, the snow rabbit gazed at the bloody wolf's leg in front of her.

Since the snow rabbit was originally one of the friendly races among the demon races, she had never killed any creature before.

But now, she was compelled to consume other demon races' corpses.

Hesitating for a moment, the snow rabbit looked up at Lin Jiao.

Snow Rabbit's gaze swept over Lin Jiao's tall figure, and her eyes became more determined. She then gritted her teeth, grabbed the piece of wolf's leg on the ground, and bit into it.

Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, making her beautiful face even more enchanting.

Watching this snow rabbit eat wolf meat, Lin Jiao stood up in satisfaction.

Everyone noticed that Lin Jiao's body was completely covered in wounds.

Evidently, he was also exhausted from killing these many wolf demons around him.

Step by step, Lin Jiao descended from the pile of corpses and continued, "From now on, you will be called Bai Qingque... This is the name I give you."

...

Soon after, Lin Jiao wandered around the Lingxuan Continent with Bai Qingque.

However, it was different from before.

In the past, Lin Jiao slaughtered powerful demon cultivators he encountered mercilessly.

But Lin Jiao changed his ways after a battle with those wolf demon kings that day.

When he encountered some demon cultivators or even demon beasts that he found promising, he taught cultivation techniques to them.

In only a few years, there were many demon cultivators behind Lin Jiao.

These demon cultivators were led by Bai Qingque and others, who were loyal to Lin Jiao as their king.

Similarly to Lin Jiao, several others on the Lingxuan Continent gathered many subordinates to improve their power and strength.

The entire Lingxuan Continent entered into the era of demon sovereignty.

Aside from these demon races, many human cultivators surviving the previous tragedy were gradually recovering in remote areas of the Lingxuan Continent.

In addition to reproducing the population, they cultivated intensively.

Using ancient cultivation manuals and many treasures left by previous generations, the power of these human cultivators also increased continuously.

Fortunately, the current Lingxuan Continent was too desolate.

The Lingxuan Continent almost became extinct due to the Traces of Heaven catastrophe that year.

Now even Lin Jiao, many other demon cultivators, and human cultivators have recovered.

However, they didn't know much about each other.

In this way, the glory of the past was restored across the entire Lingxuan continent.

This development would bring the Lingxuan Continent back to its ancient prosperity if it continued.
